The tubular tire built for the cobbles, classics, and hard roads.

The Continental Sprinter Tubular is a race-proven tubular tire built for the toughest roads in cycling. This is the tire category that wins Paris-Roubaix. Tubulars bond directly to the rim, providing a more supple ride feel, lower rolling resistance at race pressures, and the ability to continue riding on a flat without immediate tire failure. The Sprinter's durable, puncture-protected carcass is made for hundreds of kilometers, even on bad roads and cobblestones. The roads of Flanders, Roubaix, and San Remo shaped this tire's DNA.

Tubular setup requires compatible tubular rims and appropriate glue or tape. Recommended for experienced tubular users and riders who want the classic race tire experience on training rides and events.

FAQ

Why use a tubular tire for cobbled classics racing?

Tubulars can be run at lower pressures without the rim-flat risk of clinchers, which improves comfort and traction on cobbles. They also provide a more supple ride feel and have no pinch-flat risk. The Sprinter is built specifically for the demands of hard cobblestone roads where durability and compliance matter.

What rims are required for tubular tires?

Tubular tires require dedicated tubular rims with a flat or concave bed for gluing. They are not compatible with clincher or hookless tubeless rims. The tire is attached using tubular glue or double-sided tape.

Is the Sprinter difficult to mount and repair in the field?

Mounting requires proper gluing with curing time, so it is not a quick trailside task. Field repair means swapping to a pre-glued spare tubular. This is standard practice for tubular racing. Most racers carry a pre-glued spare on the race wheel.
